Filtration line repair... kinda cool and a real fix.

This lady had a pretty creative carpet repair guy do this. Carpet had horrible filtration lines but was expensive carpet which still had a good 10years left in it.

He cut out the edges and installed a border, then sold them the matching area rug... which I think he may even made himself

Pics dont do it much justice and the white on the area had turned color from a cleaning last year... overall I think its a pretty inventive cool idea

no idea what he charged though

Pretty cool.

Yeah it does look cool

Nice job on the rug. Inlays are not that uncommon around here...........but I've never thought of, or seen an inlay used to correct a filtration soil issue.....not a bad idea, I guess.

Filtration soiling can be greatly minimized if the time is taken to vac the edges properly on a regular biases, or even permanently prevented, if the joint/gap between wall and floor is sealed or caulked.   

Ever notice filtration soil is not much if at all an issue on a concrete slab floor/foundation?   

That does look really nice...that guy has some skill.

Bjorn, you're finding all my old work.
At least I think that was mine.
There was another guy who did a lot of work for Nielson Bros too. It might be his work not mine.

Btw, it's not an apartment. I hope you groomed it!

B2 or B3.

Also, put my crystal clear 4x4 furniture tabs under those table legs and you'd never see them.

save by using the Wanders Confidential Price List. I won't bite, promise.

You were gonna buy a Hugger too sucka.
(Fuzzsucker we sold just under 2 big boxes last week; my UPS bill set an all-time high). What's weird it wasn't much from you guys so,
PS you RCs: I'm gonna eblast the other half of my customers this next week and after that any of you guys who haven't bot at least one by then will be paying the retail price.   yep twisted.

PS2 Starting May 1, I'm gonna give two free Huggers for the best in-use picture each month. So be sure to take your cameras with you to work.

Hey Joe,

I was messing with an idea of disposable furniture sliders... any ideas???

Ever have that furniture that is back in a corner and you cant really get tabs under easily? The sticky tabs work okay but im thinking of just a cheap round plastic disc that would be much cheaper than sliders.

Sometimes I end up leaving sliders on jobs just because I dont want to mess with it.

I have found 14 packs of smaller orange sliders for 8.99, which isnt bad but just need something that slides a little bit and stays where it is.

oh ya the hugger, im on it. spent a ton of money lately so catching up lol

The size tab you're talking, I could make for probly 50cents each in quantity.

I've pretty much stopped selling sliders.  seems like those hard to reach legs, you still gotta get all contorted just to get there, might as well just sticky tab it and forget it. 
 

spent a ton of money lately - I heard dat.

the sticky tabs work if the furniture is not heavy.

but what if the disposable sliders were just thinner round plastic and had some stick to them so you dont need the foam or thicker plastic?

idk if its reasonable

Sticky tabs work great for there intended purpose, which doesn't include making furn ez to slide, like sliders.   

What I'd do, is just stock up on the 8.99 sliders and eat the cost if they're are needed, of if you're really cheap lol, charge the customer the buck or two in sliders needed to do the job, but build it into cost of job rather than showing them a $1-2 charge for them, to avoid the embarrassment of adding to the invoice.  

What I've found with the cheap0 sliders, is they are just about useless!!   They don't slide well being made out of cheaper plastic than what's slippery that's needed to make a slider work well.
So they usually stay as the furn pushes off them lol.........lika sez, useless!!   

these orange ones at home depot are fine,   they slide couches or anything like that.. maybe not a piano.

what do you use for furniture that is back in a corner?      so say you move it,   clean underneath,  then need to put it back but its in the corner next to a couch so you cant reach back there to get something under?

that when I just use the sticky tab and kinda lift and slide so the tab stays

the tabs dont make it easy to slide, this isnt heavy furniture... just really akward spots that are hard to get foam under or foil tabs
